Thanks for your help.I hate that my thread is title hey guys in this forum that was for the intro forum.I have a 99 f350 4wheel dr ex cab.I was driving it the other morning and it was like someone shut the key off.I thought maybe it gelled up but since then it has got in the 40s.I drained the filter bowl and it will not fill back up.not sure where to go from here.Thanks for any help

First, determine if the fuel pump is running (under the truck, below the drivers seat, on the inside of the frame rail, the size of a soda can). You should be able to hear it running or feel it with your hand. For safety reasons, the pump will only run for @ 15sec after the key is turned to the ON position (you can just go Off & On again to restart).

Next, if it's Not running check the "Inertia Switch" (pass kick panel) to see if it's tripped or come unplugged. Also look in the fuse box for a blown fuse.

Then, if it IS running how much fuel do you have in the tank? At @ 1/4 tank there is a common failure of the pick up that might cause you to suck air. Also you could have a bad sending unit and are actually empty...

Not sure what the wts light is but I had just put 15 gls in the truck.It did not act like it ran out of fuel it acted light it was shut off.I will check for noise or vib from fuel pump in the morning.I have had the truck since it was new and never had a fuel problem other than false reading on some angles.Oh one other thing I thought maybe it was a low oil shut off since it was 3 quarts low.Thanks so much for the help.I just cant afford to pay anyone right now I am a Cement Mason for my local 518 and laid off due to winter freeze here in the Midwest
